America's national debt is $40 trillion.

That number is staggering-but the number itself is only part of the problem. Behind it are decades of spending, borrowing, political promises, wars, bailouts, entitlement commitments, and decisions made by leaders who repeatedly chose tomorrow over today.

Broken by Design: Paying Off the U.S. Debt in 50 Years asks a question few politicians are willing to answer:

Can America actually get out of debt?

This book examines how the nation arrived at this point, what a realistic path toward eliminating the debt would require, and what happens if America continues on its present course.

The answer will not be comfortable. It will require sacrifice, discipline, political courage, and a willingness to confront choices that neither party has wanted to make.

But avoiding the problem does not make it disappear.

The debt is real. The mathematics are real. And the consequences are coming.

We're out of time for denial.
